Product Description

Product Description

Meet Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson). He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But when a government hibernation experiment goes awry, Bowers awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Now it's up to an average Joe to get human evolution back on track.

Given that Office Space is a bona fide cult classic, it comes as some surprise that Mike Judge's follow-up wasn't more heavily promoted. Granted, this live-action comedy is a darker, more pointed proposition, but it's unfortunate that few theater patrons got the opportunity to, well, judge for themselves. In Idiocracy, the King of the Hill creator visualizes what would happen if Devo's proposition--that mankind is in the process of devolution--came to pass. The catalyst: the overeducated start having fewer children while the undereducated have more. Enter Joe (Luke Wilson), a military librarian with no family and even less ambition. The Pentagon chooses him for a top-secret hibernation project due to his extreme "average-ness." They select Rita (SNL's Maya Rudolph), a prostitute, for the same reason. When the experiment goes haywire, the two emerge 500 years later--rather than one. Now it's 2505 and they're the brightest people in the over-polluted land. Everyone else is, basically, Beavis and Butt-head. Yes, the satire couldn't be less subtle, but the premise gives Judge license to make as much fun of junk food pop culture as dystopian classics like 1984 and Planet of the Apes. Wilson wisely plays it straight, even if the actors who surround him sometimes succumb to excess. And the effects may be cheesy, but that just adds to the fun. Idiocracy features former footballer Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris) as President Camacho and Dax Shepard (Punk'd) as Joe's futuristic friend Frito. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Brilliant. The "Fox News" portion was an added bonus. If you all missed this movie when it came out, don't feel bad. Anyway, I was surprised how much I ended up enjoying it.
WIKI says:
Idiocracy was released as scheduled but only in seven cities (Los Angeles, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Mike Judge's hometown, Austin, Texas), and expanded to only 130 theaters, not the usual wide release of 600 or more theaters. Zero press and promotion....

Gotta love Mike Judge’s eye for stupidity. He really went out of his way to grab our attention before it's too late to save ourselves from extinction by natural selection. Judge does a good job of pissing off corporate America at the risk of losing support from the film industry. Many tongue in cheek moments here, as what starts out as mindless nonsense ends up being a film that makes you wonder where we are going as a species. If you related to films like Network you will probably appreciate this too.

This movie is a riot! It's hilarious and has a great message about the pitfalls of making everything super convenient.

Maye Rudolph is darling. She is very pretty, i never noticed that so much on SNL. Very endearing eyes and just plain likeable.
I bust out laughing at least 10 times during this movie. Society is leaning a bit this way now, but we will be ok.

Filmu nie można odtwarzać na PS4 ze względu na jakieś "ograniczenia regionalne". Powinna być o tym jakaś informacja bo o co mi film, którego nie mogę odtworzyć w Polsce?

5.0 out of 5 stars Un bijou ! *** Attention, spoilers dans ce commentaire ***
Reviewed in France on October 15, 2017
Plusieurs collègues m'avaient conseillé ce film et quelle ne fut pas ma surprise ! Très bon, de bout en bout. Effrayant, aussi ! Idiocracy est une comédie, certes, mais qui dérange par bien des aspects. Rien que l'intro est hilarante !

En 2005, Joe est un militaire moyen, et sans famille ni ami. Il est recruté en interne pour participer, comme cobaye, à une expérience qui devrait permettre de congeler les meilleurs soldats jusqu'à ce qu'il y en ai besoin. L'expérience avorte et Joe est tout simplement oublié dans son caisson cryogénique... Jusqu'à ce qu'il se réveille, en 2505. Lui qui passait inaperçu en 2005 est désormais le plus intelligent de la planète et est victime de son QI... Il n'a plus qu'un objectif : utiliser la machine à remonter le temps pour repartir dans son époque. Ce film retrace ses aventures, pour retrouver cette fameuse machine.

Les crétins sont au pouvoir, les méga entreprises dirigent tout et ne récompensent que les bons consommateurs. La pub est omniprésente, grossière, vulgaire, décomplexée... Même les sofas, dans lesquels on se vautre habituellement pour regarder la télé, sont désormais équipés de WC intégrés qui nous évitent de déconnecter notre attention des programmes télé, dont l'un des plus populaires est "Oh mes burnes", une sorte de sitcom qui met en scène un gars qui prend des coups dans ses... pour le moindre prétexte. Ça suffit pour faire glousser l'humain moyen du futur. Même les vêtements, 100% nylon, sont entièrement recouverts de publicités... Les cultures ne poussent plus parce qu'elles sont arrosées avec des boissons énergisantes, l'eau n'étant désormais utilisée que pour les toilettes, elle jugée inappropriée à la consommation et même qualifiée de menace pour les marges des industriels...

Dans ce futur, l'ignorance est une valeur sûre, la bêtise grégaire prévaut, la justice n'est rien de plus qu'un show télévisé, les soins médicaux peuvent être gratuits si on a de la chance à la machine à sous... Un monde qui fait peur parce que, oui, on y vient. Doucement mais sûrement. Je me rassure, Idiocracy, ce n'est que pour demain. Aujourd'hui, cependant, nous sommes tous responsables de l'abrutissement général... Je recommande chaudement ce film ! Il fait rire et réfléchir, ce qui est bien plus que ce que n'importe quel Spiderman ou Ironman a encore à offrir...
